Things Heard And Seen is based on a novel, translated for the screen (and slightly renamed) by genre-hopping filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (
American Splendor). The result has the blunt faithfulness of a Lifetime Nora Roberts adaptation; whenever the camera turns toward, say, a horse or a bird, the assumption is that this was a rich symbol in the book, rather than the random cutaway it appears to be here. The early ’80s setting remains evocative, however, moving young intellectuals Catherine (Amanda Seyfried) and George (James Norton), along with daughter Franny (Ana Sophia Heger), from Manhattan to upstate New York home of spiritualism, art colonies, and drafty old farmhouses at the beginning of the film.

The film opens with a quote from 18th-century Swedish theologian Emmanuel Swedenborg, whose most famous work was a book on the afterlife, appropriately titled Heaven and Hell.
Unsurprisingly, this goes on to have a major significance for the events of the film, particularly in its climactic final moments – which may have left viewers with one or two questions.
